It's been time to get serious about shifting away from fossil fuels for decades. We should have gone full space race on it. We'd already be there, our companies selling it to the rest of the world. It could've more than made up the investment. But unfortunately, Democrats listened too closely to the science around the time the GOP's power-for-power's-sake mentality was getting into properly high gear.
The Gingrich push for a permanent Republican majority. Impeaching a president for lying about a blowjob, as opposed to what impeachment is meant for: corruption in attaining or exercising office. Soon to be followed by the embarrassment of Iraq/Afghanistan. Soon to be followed by the first black President and the bulk of the right finally going all-in on hate. Then they somehow managed to dial it from 11 to 12 with Trump.
Serious renewable, "green", or even just generally non-fossil never had a chance to get where it needed to be. So here we are, not the lead supplier of the necessary gear in the world, and dealing with looming inflation increases on top of the COVID demand/supply chain disasters thanks to having to respond meaningfully to the invasion of Ukraine.
The article doesn't say much. Seems to be just a brief summary of this:
Saudi Arabia is in active talks with Beijing to price its oil sales to China in yuan, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would dent the U.S. dollar’s dominance of the global petroleum market and mark another shift by the world’s top crude exporter toward Asia.
